Is anyone using these in boats yet?

Looks like the US Navy is going to use them on hovercraft and some people are using them on Baja cars.

Permanent Technologies will supply its latest design TineLok
Vibration-proof Fastening System products made from VICTREX ® PEEK
High Performance Thermo-Plastic to the U.S. Navy for testing on the
LCAC Hovercraft
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
Permanent Technologies, Inc. (PERT.PINK) secured an initial order
for TineLok Vibration-Proof Fasteners from the United States Navy for
their testing on its Hovercrafts, the Landing Craft, Air Cushion
(LCAC).

Earlier this year TineLok stainless steel products passed, with
flying colors, a series of highly demanding field tests conducted by
the U.S. Navy. According the Navy's Engineer in Charge, the TineLok
fasteners worked flawlessly and will be a valuable component of their
new skirt design for the Hovercraft.

TineLok's latest products - made from VICTREX © PEEK High
performance Thermo-plastic - will now be installed on the LCAC for
advanced testing. This new material is as strong as its steel
counterpart at about one quarter the weight. It offers the Navy
significant potential for savings in fuel consumption and overall LCAC
maintenance costs.

"We expect to begin delivery on this order within about six
weeks," said Loren Ball, President and CEO of Permanent Technologies,
Inc. "There is little doubt that high performance plastic and other
new materials are in TineLok's future. Our stainless steel products
met all expectations for use on the Navy's Hovercraft. And we're
confident the new materials will also meet or exceed the Navy's
exacting requirements."
